Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 8-fluoro-6-nitro-3,4-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-one (950 mg, 4.52 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 ml) was added borane-tetrahydrofuran complex (45.2 ml, 45.2 mmol) as a solution in THF. The reaction mixture was then heated to reflux temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was then cooled to 0° C. and quenched with methanol. The quenched mixture was then concentrated in vacuo, redissolved in methanol and reconcentrated, then refluxed in methanol for 2 h. The mixture was then concentrated onto silica gel, and chromatographed using 0-20% ethyl acetate in hexanes. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 7.77-7.71 (m, 1H), 7.73 (m, 1H), 7.31 (brs, 1H), 3.35-3.28 (m, 2H), 2.77 (t, J=6.2 Hz, 2H), 1.85-1.77 (m, 2H).
